Who should pay for the clean up of meth labs?

After police bust a meth lab, someone must clean it up. Federal funding for meth lab cleanups ran out about six months ago. So, Beaumont Police — and Beaumont taxpayers — must foot the bill to remove, dispose and mitigate whatever chemicals were used in the lab they found in a Beaumont hotel. It could cost between $5,000 and $10,000. However, if the case goes to federal court, the federal government will foot the bill.

Property owners. No one else cleans up after other crimes, including murder.
